As time has shown, much of what makes a device popular is how easily it can be incorporated into an existing set-up. In the case of micromanipulators, this process has involved designing manipulator platforms that bolt directly to the frames of the most popular microscopes. Alternatively, we also offer rock-steady, free-standing platforms that support our manipulators by clamping to the table beside the microscope. Our MT-70 s…
As time has shown, much of what makes a device popular is how easily it can be incorporated into an existing set-up. In the case of micromanipulators, this process has involved designing manipulator platforms that bolt directly to the frames of the most popular microscopes. Alternatively, we also offer rock-steady, free-standing platforms that support our manipulators by clamping to the table beside the microscope. Our MT-70 stand, originally designed for stable support of the fifteen pound Huxley manipulator, and MT-75 gantry-style stand, are perfect free-standing platforms for the MP-225 and MP-285. These motorized manipulators are also supported by the MD series microscope specific platforms that bolt directly to the bodies of the most popular Leica, Nikon, Olympus, and Zeiss inverted microscopes. These platforms lend themselves to the low-drift recording configuration required when using Sutter manipulators for positioning patch-electrodes onto attached cells in culture.
